Customized Highlight Sequence Generation for Sports Events
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing services for sporting and entertainment events provide generalized highlights that do not account for individual viewer preferences, leading to inefficient use of time, potential loss of viewership, and decreased advertisement revenue.
Innovation Solution
A system that generates and outputs customized highlight sequences by determining the interests and preferences of individual users, using information explicitly provided or automatically observed, and selecting specific portions of events that align with these preferences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If generalized highlights are provided to all viewers, then the service can be simple to implement and broadcast efficiently, but the content does not match individual viewer preferences leading to loss of viewership and advertisement revenue
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the general audience into individual viewer profiles with specific preferences for teams, players, and event types. Each viewer receives a customized highlight sequence segmented according to their personal interests rather than a universal highlight reel, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity by organizing content delivery into personalized segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting viewer preference data in advance and pre-configuring personalized highlight parameters before events occur. This allows the system to quickly generate customized highlights without complex real-time processing during events, balancing adaptability with manageable system complexity.
2Loss of time
If customized highlight sequences are generated for each user based on their preferences, then viewer engagement and time efficiency are improved, but the system complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
Viewer preferences are collected and analyzed in advance before events occur. The system pre-processes preference data and configures personalized highlight criteria, so that during events the system can quickly generate customized highlights without complex real-time analysis, reducing both time loss for viewers and system complexity during execution.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables viewers to self-configure their preferences through simple interfaces, reducing the burden on the system to complexly infer preferences. Viewers actively participate in defining their own highlight criteria, which simplifies the overall system architecture while still achieving personalized, time-efficient highlight delivery.
3Measurement precision
If the system collects and analyzes detailed user preference data to generate personalized highlights, then the relevance and quality of highlights improve, but the data processing complexity and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The preference data is segmented into distinct categories such as team preferences, player preferences, and event type preferences. This segmentation allows the system to collect and analyze data in organized, manageable segments rather than as a monolithic complex dataset, improving measurement precision while controlling system complexity through structured data organization.

AI summary
A customized highlight sequence depicting multiple events, and based on a user's personal characteristics, interests, and/or preferences, is generated and presented. The events can be sporting events, entertainment events, and/or the like. For example, in the context of sporting events, a determination is made as to what types of sports, teams, leagues, players, plays, and/or the like are of interest to the user. In at least one embodiment, the amount of time available to the user can be obtained, so that the length of the highlight sequence can be tailored to the available time. A customized highlight sequence is then generated and presented, containing those specific portions of the sporting events that are likely to be of interest, arranged in a manner that is likely to be entertaining to the user and comports with the time restrictions.
